"The Wood Witch's Daughter" by Kate Seger

Arianette, the orphaned daughter of the Wood Witch of the Greenwood, could not help but be drawn to the strange music in the forest on the night of the Rite - when the Veil between the worlds is at its thinnest.

After being lured by a shadowy woman into the war-ravaged Ethereal Realms and bound by a bargain with a wayward Fae lord, Arianette is torn between two worlds - and two strikingly different men. With both the impetuous Skylord and his stoic half-brother seeking to win her heart, the deepest betrayal of all may come from within as they band together to solve the mystery of Arianette's origins... before the Fae Courts burn.

But the truth about who - and what- Arianette is might be far more dangerous than they could have imagined, and the hand that destiny has dealt may not be the one Arianette intends to play.

"The Wood Witch's Daughter" is the first book in a series.

It's more than just a tree...

An island's sacred tree hides a portal to an underground world full of mystical energies --and the shocking truth that local superstitions are much more than just myths as a forgotten legend awaits revival!

When Talin, a bullied outcast, unexpectedly plunges into the portal and is chosen to fill the long-vacant role of island Healer, the reluctant teen must make a difficult decision: accept his destiny or let the power that comes with it fall into the evil hands of his rival who believes he is the next Healer.

But only one youth can claim the decades-old title...and the battle won’t be easy.

If Talin is to keep the legend alive for future generations, he must face challenges like never before --and stay alive long enough to navigate between both worlds.
